UNITED STATES HARRY ABRAMS, OF SYRACUSE, NEW YORK.

HOLDER CARRYING PIG LEAD.

Application filed May 15, 1925. Serial No. 30,575.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY ABRAMs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Holder for Carrying Pig Lead, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a metal holder of novel shape for conveniently carrying pig lead. I attain the objects of my invention by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device in use; and

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the device, the dotted line position of a portion of the holder showing how it is bent to hold the blocks of lead.

Like numerals indicate like parts in each of the several views.

' Referring to the accompanying drawings, I provide a wire holder 1 having its upper end bent into an ellipse, the. uppermostside 3 being flattened, as shown, and the end 2 being twisted around the vertical portion of the wire to secure the handle in place. The lower end of the wire is bent back on itself at 5 and twisted as at l, the end of the wire 6 extending vertically parallel with the main body of the wire 1. The retaining end of the holder is inserted through the octagon-shaped orifices '8 of the blocks of lead 7 as shown in Fig. 1 and the wire is bent at 9, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 9, so that the portions of the wiret and 6 will engage the bottom block 7 of lead, the lower end of the holder being thus of approximate T-shape and holding the entire string of blocks on the carrier in the" manner illustrated. The device permits of its being inserted in the blocks and adjusted to holding position much more conveniently and rapidly than with holders heretofore devised.

What I claim is:

A holder for carrying pig lead, consisting of a wire having one end bent into the form of an ellipse with a portion of. the ellipse flattened to form a handle and the end of the wire bent around the main body of the wire, the other end of the. main body of the wire being bent back on itself and twisted around to permit of its convenient insertion through the channels through a series of lead blocks, the lower end of the wire being bendable to a position at right angles to the main body of the wire to form an approximately T-shaped retaining element.

HARRY ABRAMS.
